    The auction for the naming rights and advertising space for the first session of the Han Dynasty was held in the parliament building. It was because there were too many people who signed up. There was no other place in Jicheng that could accommodate so many people. Although  Auctions have been done before, but selling this thing is the first time for Dahan. After the publicity in Dahan Weekly, the people of Jicheng are eagerly waiting to see what price this thing can be sold for.  Come.

    The result was that the eyes of all the Jicheng people, and then all the Han people, almost dropped to the ground. Even Gao Yuan, after knowing the final result, accidentally dropped a fine porcelain cup to the ground.  He also saw it for the first time. It turns out that our big businessmen are really rich now!

    The naming rights were due to the withdrawal of the three top businessmen of the Han Dynasty. The Cao family, the Mei family, and the Wu family were not only rich, but also powerful. If one of these three families appeared, others would not dare to compete with them. However, these three families were directly eliminated by the king.  After being kicked out, the remaining people had almost the same power, so they let money speak for themselves. In the end, the naming rights went to 12 maritime business consortiums from Cangzhou, Cangzhou Ocean Navigation Company, and the winning bid was 1.02 million yuan.  It's equivalent to the previous one million and two thousand taels of silver.

    According to the joke that Ning Xin, who secretly went to watch the excitement, told Gao Yuan when she came back, Huo Xiaolin, the director of the Ministry of Culture and Publicity, was so frightened that when the transaction came to a halt after three hammer blows, his subordinates pinched him again and again.  Caressing his chest made Minister Huo calm down.

    The auction of the entire naming rights and advertising space finally raised 3.18 million yuan.

    The appearance of Huo Xiaolin when he entered the palace and Gao Yuan made Gao Yuan wonder if the Minister of Culture and Propaganda, who had made a fortune, was overjoyed and had signs of cerebral hemorrhage. He was smiling so hard that his eyes were crooked, his mouth was crooked, and he was walking unsteadily.

    "Your Majesty, I am so happy."

    "Minister Huo, are you okay?" Gao Yuan asked worriedly.

    "I'm fine. What can happen to me?" Huo Xiaolin touched his face in surprise. Could it be that there was a flower blooming on his face that made the king look at him so solemnly.  "I'm just happy. I'm very happy. Not only have the expenses for this year's celebration been settled, but next year our Cultural and Propaganda Department can be free to do a lot of work. On the way to the palace, I made some calculations. I can do more.  Many schools have been opened. The king's previous plan to print a large number of free textbooks for popularizing literacy can be implemented. Many states and counties have applied to the Ministry of Culture and Publicity to help them set up local universities. This also provides money, which can be done.  We selected a few counties and counties with good education and implemented it.¡±

    Huo Xiaolin was dancing and dancing.  The Qingshui Yamen Cultural and Propaganda Department had a rare chance of getting rich, and Huo Xiaolin was now filled with thoughts of doing something big.

    "Your Majesty, Minister Wang of the Ministry of Finance would like to see you." He Weiyuan strode in and reported to Gao Yuan.

    "Well, Wang Wu, what is he doing here at this time?" Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Huo Xiaolin, who was still overjoyed, and suddenly understood, "Minister Huo, you are in trouble." He  Laughing loudly: "Yes, please, Minister Wang."

    Wang Wuyi walked in with his eight-character steps. Generally speaking, this God of Wealth is unhurried at all times. It is rare that he gets flustered, except of course that time when he was chased by Gao Yuan.

    "Minister Wang, what brought you to my place today? Are you planning to pay me a salary?" Gao Yuan looked at Wang Wudi with a smile.

    Wang Wudi coughed dryly, and a rare smile appeared on his poker face, "Your Majesty, if you support me in this matter and I can supplement your salary for one or two years, then there will be no problem at all."

    Gao Yuan laughed, "I understand, it was our Minister Huo who brought you here."

    Huo Xiaolin suddenly became alert.  Huo Di turned to look at Wang Wudi and sneered: "Wang Wudi, please stop trying to figure me out. I have a legitimate purpose for all this money."

    Wang Wu Di dug from his pocket, took out a book, and turned to one of the books seriously.  He handed it to Huo Xiaolin and said calmly: "According to national laws, all government revenue should be included in financial management and the next year's expenditures should be arranged according to the previous year's budget. Minister Huo, this auction is not your personal behavior, right?  The sales are not personal items, right? Therefore, these incomes are also national income and must be included in the national treasury and managed by the Ministry of Finance. Does your Culture and Propaganda Department want to set up a private treasury and openly violate national laws? "

    Huo Xiaolin's face turned green, "This money is used for the celebration. Don't even think about robbing me halfway."

    "According to the report you called, the total required for the celebration is 500,000 yuan. The king has approved it, and our Ministry of Finance has also approved it. However, this auction brought in a total of 3.18 million yuan. After deducting the 500,000 yuan,  Yuan, and there are still 2.6 million yuan, which should be turned over to the national treasury.¡±

    "Wang Wu's direct descendant!" Huo Xiaolin saidHe became angry from shame, "We asked for five hundred thousand yuan before, didn't you have any money? Now you're here to get what you have already?"

    Wang Wudi stroked his beard and said shamelessly: "I didn't have money before, but now I have money. If you don't follow the law and want to embezzle public funds, tomorrow I will go to the political hall to talk to the political councilors."

    Holding the Han law summary in his hand, Wang Wudi's expression showed that even Gao Yuan really wanted to grab him by the neck and throw him out, and he was even more worried about Huo Xiaolin.

    "Your Majesty." Huo Xiaolin turned to look at Gao Yuan. His expression had changed from anger to that of a resentful woman who had suffered great grievances.

    Gao Yuan sighed and spread his hands. This guy Wang Wudi came to collect the laws. He was fully prepared and there was nothing he could do to help.

    Huo Xiaolin was angry and anxious. The king was so uninterested that he unceremoniously sold himself for one or two years' salary. Wang Wuyi was also shameless. In order to swallow more than two million yuan, he openly asked the king.  bribery.

    "Minister Huo, tomorrow I hope to see the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda transfer the extra balance to the Ministry of Finance account immediately." Wang Wudi looked at him with a victorious expression and turned to look at Gao Yuan: "Your Majesty, I  I think this celebration can be held once a year in the future.¡±

    Gao Yuan coughed twice and looked sympathetically at Huo Xiaolin, whose face was black and blue from holding back. "Minister Wang, Minister Huo and the others have worked hard this time, so I suggest you make a special fund for this fund and use it as much as possible."  Lean towards the Cultural Propaganda Department, what do you think? Cultural propaganda and education are related to our great cause!"

    "As long as the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda has sufficient reasons and a clear budget, our Ministry of Finance will always be fair and equitable." Wang Wudi said with an upright look on his face, "Your Majesty, it is really hard for me to be the steward of this big man. A bowl of water must be balanced.  I can¡¯t sleep at night.¡±

    Listening to Wang Wu¡¯s self-narration, Gao Yuan¡¯s face slowly darkened. You bitch Wang Wu, you are indeed very fair, but you are unfair to me. Why don¡¯t you pay me the salary you owe me?

    "Minister Wang!" Gao Yuan interrupted Wang Wudi, "You said you owed me salary earlier?"

    "Ah? Did I say it?" Wang Wudi looked surprised. Seeing Gao Yuan's face, he quickly said: "Yes, yes, I said it. I will discuss it with the deputy ministers when I get back."  I'll wait and see when I can call you. I'm leaving. I'm leaving."

    Gao Yuan saluted Gao Yuan, turned around, and greased the soles of his feet. Looking at this look, Gao Yuan knew that his salary was yellow again.  This king is so damn stupid when it comes to acting.

    "Your Majesty!" Huo Xiaolin jumped in anger, "I will never give money to this iron rooster."

    Gao Yuan let out a long sigh, "The arm can't twist the thigh. Minister Huo, didn't you see that what he got was the law of the Han Dynasty? According to the law, it should be turned over to the treasury."

    "Your Majesty, you are the King, this is not a matter of your words." Huo Xiaolin said eagerly.

    Gao Yuan's face turned pale, "Minister Huo, you are wrong. Although I am a king, I will never be higher than the law of the Han Dynasty. The law is the most supreme thing for us Han men. Even the king must abide by the law. You are  Minister of Culture and Publicity, on this point, I hope you have a clear understanding that no one can be above the law, not me, and not even you."

    "I understand!" Huo Xiaolin was dejected. The money was not yet warm in his arms, so he let Wang Wu take it away again. The previous happiness had long since disappeared.

    Looking at Huo Xiaolin's mournful look, Gao Yuan couldn't bear it, "As for the construction of the school, you might as well go to the princess later, maybe she can help you."

    "Princess?" Huo Xiaolin raised his head in shock.

    "Oh, it's like this. Several princesses often do good deeds, so I gave them an idea. There are so many officials and big gentry in Jicheng. Their wives don't have anything to do with their time.  If everything is okay at home, I asked several princesses to take the lead to set up a charity fund and call on everyone to donate money. The donated money is used to do some good things. I think it is a school. So you go find the princess.  "

    "How much money can some women afford?" Huo Xiaolin said in despair, and suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean the princess."

    Gao Yuan laughed, "That's not necessarily true. I asked them to imitate your auction and also got some things to auction. As for the time, it was set on the day before the celebration. Do you know what the ladies sold?  "

    "have no idea."

    "Of course you don't know, but I do. What Jing'er took out was a set of jewelry that she has worn for many years. Ning Xin's paintings are her own paintings over the years, and Swallow is her scimitar. Even I also  They made some profitThe things were gone, and a set of sidearms I had used for many years were also taken away by them.  Gao Yuan laughed.

    Huo Xiaolin¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up.  As for the personal belongings of the king and the princess, in the past, I am afraid that these were completely unmarketable and priceless. If they were to be sold, some people would not break their heads to snatch them. So, what kind of charity foundation is this?  Can't you get a lot of money?  Before the celebration, all the prominent people in Han Dynasty would probably gather in Jicheng, just to please the king and princess, and everything would be sold at a sky-high price!  (To be continued.)
